From Her to Eternity lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in 29
Why, why? That's the one right up top a mine
I start to cry, I start to cry
Oh, I hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot 'cross the floorboards
All through this lonesome night
I hear her crying too, hot tears come splashin' down
Leaking through the cracks, down upon my face
I catch 'em in my mouth
Catch 'em in my mouth
Catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth
Walk an' cry, walk an' cry, walk an' cry
I walk an' cry

[Chorus]
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity

[Verse 2]
I read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizing every little bit of dirt
Tore out a page and stuffed it inside my shirt
I fled outta the window and shinning it down the vine
Outta her nightmare and back inside mine
Mine, oh mine
[Chorus]
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Oh, cry cry cry
Oh, cry cry cry

[Verse 3]
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, I bet
And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen I know it must sound absurd
But I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heard
Walk and cry, walk and cry
Kneel and cry, kneel and cry

[Chorus]
From her to eternity
From her to eternity

[Verse 4]
Oh tell me why? Oh tell me why?
I wanna know why? Oh tell me why?
Don't tell me a lie
Why the ceiling still shakes?
And all the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?
This desire to possess her is a wound
And it's naggin' at me like a shrew
But I know that to possess her is, therefore, not to desire her
Well that little girl will just have to go, go
[Chorus]
From her to eternity
I go from her to eternity

[Outro]
From her to eternity (Cry, cry, cry)
From her to eternity (Cry, cry, cry)
From her to eternity (Why did I cry? Why did I cry? Why did I cry?)
From her to eternity (Cry, cry, cry, cry)
From her to eternity (Why did I cry? Why did I cry? Why did I cry?)
From her to eternity (Cry, cry)
From her to eternity (Cry, cry)
From her to eternity (Cry, cry, eternity)
(Cry, cry, eternity)
(Cry)
